Jet setter – Travel expert, blogger, jet-setter and bon vivant, who travels around the world discovering what's new and cool about luxury travel and hospitality... We design travel gear with discipline and restraint. Form follows function, and function follows use. Nothing excessive, nothing decorative for its own sake. In an era of disposable products and short-lived trends, Skyborne pieces are built to remain relevant, defined by timeless proportions, subtle references to classic mountaineering equipment, and modern engineering that simplifies how you move. The result is travel gear designed to perform quietly, endure relentlessly, and improve with time. Our philosophy is buy less of higher quality items, and reap the fruits all life long. That's why every square inch of a Skyborne product is meticulously designed to be a delight to use, over and over again becoming an extension of you. We sourced world class materials of the highest caliber from Canada, Japan, regions in Switzerland and other world renown placed that meet our high standards and bring them together in a symphony of mastery in the production process. We strive to grant privilege to everyone to be able to own a Skyborne bag, as best we can while not cutting corners on our premium quality. Other competitors like TUMI's bags start at $1400 USD-$4300 USD, using similar if not identically sourced materials as we do here at Skyborne, but because we sell directly to you, we can offer our backpacks for a fraction of the price.
